Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector David Yapu, said the 31-year-old first constable was charged with stealing from the complainant, who was initially arrested for domestic violence.
“His waist bag containing K460 was given to the policeman to look after,” said PPC Yapu.
After being released, an empty waist bag was returned to the complainant.
The complainant reported the matter to police, whereby PPC Yapu directed for an investigation which led to the arrest of the officer.
